Funding

 

The above links are worth-while financial aid opportunities for clubs to use when preparing events. Take a look and apply! There is no harm in asking!

Here are some other SFUO funding options:

SFUO Green Fund
Encourage the financing of initiatives and activities which use good practices of sustainable development.

This fund will finance: activities which main objective is promotion or awareness of sustainability evelopment; certain aspects of events which will allow the event itself to be more environmental.
Ex) Workshop on vermi-compost; activity for which reusable dinnerware must be rented to avoid using of the throwaway dinnerware.

This fund will not finance: activities which will try to acquire the additional financing without qualifying for this fund.
Ex) Francophone night

SFUO Philanthropic Fund
Encourage the financing of philanthropic activities.

This fund will finance: certain aspects of activities to reduce expenses to be able to accumulate a maximum of funds for a philanthropic reason.
Ex) BBQ (financing for the food)

This fund will not finance: activities which, even with a subsidy, will not raise enough money to give a donation to a philanthropic cause.
Ex) Charity Ball where expenses are more than the projection of income.

SFUO Francophone Fund
Encourage the financing of activities which aim to promote French activities on campus.

This fund will finance: certain aspects of activities which occur entirely in French
Ex) French-speaking night, debate, a film night in French.

This fund will not finance: efforts to make events bilingual which take place only in English.
Ex) simultaneous translation of a conference entirely in English.

Accessibility Fund

The fund exists to ensure that all aspects of the university experience can be made to be accessible.

• event planning
• promotion
• communication formats
• event execution
• transportation
• physical accessibility
• adaptive technological requirements
• elections
• debates, and so on. 

Even food at events can be made to be more accessible for all dietary restrictions; such requests may be considered for funding.

However, the fund exists to cover incremental costs of accessibility; it will not cover regular costs associated with event planning.

It is encouraged that clubs contact the Coordinator of the Centre for Students with Disabilities (csd@sfuo.ca; www.csd.sfuo.ca) to best determine accessibility logistics and what kinds of accessibility accommodations can be made. A consultation before applying may clarify what your event may require in terms of accessibility.
